This is beautiful! I like the way you've used the same color in the borders as the center of the design. Love those bright colors and that striped border. Beautiful quilting as well.

I sure don't mind at all. Beautiful quilt. And for those of us who were not board members when you posted it the first time, it is a new treat!! Thanks for sharing.

I am going through archived "pictures" on this site. I have been longing to see the big picture of your quilt that you have on the block with your name on the site and here it is!!!!!! I recognized it right away. It is one of the prettiest quilts I have ever seen. Thank you for posting it here. It is so inspiring to me and makes me smile when I see it. Thanks again

Good luck at the quilt show, you should'nt have any trouble winning. It is beautiful and I also wondered how your avatar looked in larger form.

Good job!
Whenever you are doing an Elenor Burns quilt, following the instructions just as she has written them will get you exactly what she says will get you. She has an unique way of instructing, and once you can follow her instructions, everything will flow.
I did all twenty blocks in her Victory QUilts book and if I had her color sense, I would have had a grand quilt indeed!
Your Kalaidoscope quilt is very colorful, and I, too, thought that corners were a great touch of suprise.

thanks omak, i too admire ELEANOR BURNS methods and i love to watch her t.v. show.
i actually changed the assembly just a little but you would only notice if you saw it in person and knew her instructions.

Oh that is one nice quilt!! I love that book, I am going to have to get it for myself one of these days.

Your quilting turned out very nice. Did you say you did it yourself?

red garnet 222, thanks for looking at my quilt. i did not do the quilting myself. i have a wonderful mother and daughter quilting shop in my little town. i'm just not able to machine quilt the larger quilts myself and i don't have the patience to hand quilt the big ones. they do an overall quilting in several different patterns. i think they charged me $35.00 to quilt this one. i also had them apply the binding. they are wonderful.

yes ... it looks good
